Iceberg Hunting

There are lots of big icebergs around Newfoundland this year.

 This one is actually quite small, but close to shore so we could get a good look at it.

This little one was really close to shore! We actually got to watch it roll over, which is something I've never seen before except on tv. The boys thought the iceberg in the distance looked like the big fin on a submarine.

 These are tiny fish swimming over the submerged part of the iceberg by the wharf.

 The bigger of these two was moving fast enough that we could watch it move past the rocks.
Aside from the beautiful icebergs, we also saw two eagles and a porpoise. It was a great way to spend part of the day.

  2. Are there more icebergs this year with us having such a cold winter? Seeing an iceberg is on my bucket list.
